Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Andy pondered for a moment and responded, "I don't have any opinion. The magic world is like that. We just have to deal with it!"

"Professor, let's get back to talking about magic!"

Before Dumbledore could speak, Andy said, "You seemed to have mentioned... magical transformation?"

Dumbledore: "..."

"Yes, magical transformation!"

Dumbledore nodded and explained: "Magical Transfiguration... is actually the use of external forces to transform the body through the method of Transfiguration. In other words, it is to integrate external forces into our body."

"Just like the Animagus Transfiguration, it borrows the magic power of the celestial phenomena to create an animal body."

“There are usually two types of such external forces.”

"First, the magical powers we steal from magical animals; second, we borrow the magic from nature."

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly turned to look at the already drowsy Phoenix and asked, "Have you seen Fawkes?"

Andy and Hermione turned to look at the same time.

"Fawkes...is that the name of this phoenix?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Yes!"

Dumbledore explained: "There is a rumor in the Dumbledore family that whenever a member of the Dumbledore family needs help, the phoenix will appear."

"I am not the first person to attract a phoenix. In fact, more than seventy years ago, another member of the Dumbledore family received help from a phoenix... He is my nephew."

Andy asked, "What about him...?"

Dumbledore looked a little sad. "He was an Obscurial. He died when he was less than thirty years old."

Andy: "..."

"Sorry!" Although Andy had a lot to say, he couldn't say anything except sorry.

It is well known that there has never been an Obscurus who has been parasitized by the Obscurus living beyond the age of ten - at least that's what the books say.

However, a Silent One who has lived past the age of twenty...

Think of what Dumbledore said before: Whenever a member of the Dumbledore family needs help, the phoenix will appear.

Andy suspected that Dumbledore was showing off to him.

And we have the evidence!

Andy also suspected that Dumbledore's sister, Ariana Dumbledore, was also an Obscurial, lived more than ten years old, and died in an accident.

"hiss--"

Andy gasped.

The bloodline of the Dumbledore family is truly terrifying!

Two Obscure who have lived for more than ten years, plus this ceiling of the magic world in front of him...

Andy glanced at Phoenix Fox.

Is it because the ancestors of the Dumbledore family used the power of the phoenix to complete the magical transformation?

Chapter 342 Slytherin's Precious Treasure and the Essence of the Sun and Moon

Andy looked at Dumbledore silently.

I thought you were all ordinary wizards, but I didn't expect you to secretly awaken your bloodline limit.

But when Andy thought about the fact that he was also a cheater, he had nothing to complain about.

Among the three people in the office, only Hermione was an ordinary wizard in the true sense. For a moment, Andy felt that this little witch was really pitiful.

It's like a husky among wolves.

Gee!

Andy organized his thoughts and asked, "Professor, among your ancestors, has anyone used the power of the phoenix to complete the magical transformation?"

"I think so!"

Dumbledore explained: "Although there are many different methods of magical transformation, they are generally similar."

"First, integrate the external force into the potion, and then use the human body transformation technique to allow yourself to integrate this force at the moment of transformation."

Andy nodded slightly.

What Dumbledore said is quite similar to Andy's previous speculation...external forces, potions and human body deformation are the truth behind magical deformation.

Andy thought of the legends he had heard in his previous life.

For example: the art of external alchemy.

Although there are differences between Eastern and Western cultures, they also have many similarities.

Dumbledore continued, "The development of magical transfiguration often requires a lot of experiments to prove and find the laws of these forces... In fact, over the years, those who can survive magical transfiguration are lucky!"

Andy: "..."

What Dumbledore said makes sense.

The invention of any potion requires a lot of time for experimentation.

It’s just that ordinary potion materials are more common and can be purchased with just a few gold galleons. The experiment cycle is also very short, and the cost of experimental failure is not that high.

But magical transformation is different.

Materials are hard to find, formulas have to be guessed, the experimental cycle is long, and the price of failure is death.

Thinking of this, Andy suddenly realized that the manuscripts on magical transfiguration left by Slytherin were truly a treasure of enormous value - a true treasure that could not be compared to hundreds of thousands of gold Galleons.

"Maybe... I can find some patterns in those manuscripts."

Andy thought, "As long as I find the matching rules between celestial magic and potions, I can prepare the most suitable potion for myself and perform the most perfect magic transformation."

Thinking of this, Andy's heart was burning with anger.

This may be difficult!

But when the attribute of [Thinking: 5] changed to [Thinking: 7], Andy felt that he could solve this problem.

That’s the fun of cheating.

"Professor, if our mental will is strong enough, can we avoid the side effects of magical deformation?" Andy suddenly asked.

"Is such that!"

Dumbledore slowly said, "Voldemort is such a person, so he can perform several dark magic transformations. Of course, this is also related to Voldemort's attainments in the field of dark magic."

Andy understood!

To explain it with data: the [Will] attribute can offset the side effects of magic transformation; and the magic transformation method that matches its own attributes can also reduce the difficulty of magic transformation.

"What about the magic of the stars?" Andy asked again.

All Muggles know that the movement of the stars has nothing to do with human destiny - because every star in the night sky is a celestial body in the universe, and humans are not that great.

But Hogwarts has astronomy class, and it is a compulsory course, and it has to be studied for five years - it is a class that no one cares about, but everyone must take.

The Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries also has the Office of Planets.

From this we can see that there may indeed be some unknown magical changes in the movement of the stars.

Andy didn't care about it before, but if he connected all the clues together, he could only come to this conclusion - there is indeed some unknown secret in the movement of the stars.

"At this point, I think Miss Granger may be able to give you a suitable answer." Dumbledore said.

"Me?" Hermione was stunned.

Come on, Professor! I'm just an ordinary little witch!

Andy also typed a question mark.

Dumbledore seemed to know everything tonight. He said, "On the subject of astrology, Muggles have done much more in-depth research than we have... but we are studying in different fields, so there is not much comparability."

"According to Muggle research, if people don't get sunlight, they won't get calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis, decreased resistance, and sometimes even mental problems."

The little witch was shocked, "Professor, your knowledge is so profound!"

Dumbledore didn't care. "In the Muggle world, this is something everyone understands."

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly looked at Andy, "By the way, Mr. Collins, do you know what calcium is?"

“Andy:…”

Andy said speechlessly: "Professor, I have studied Muggle knowledge. Hermione gave me a lot of books, and I bought some myself."

I was a pure Muggle in my previous life!

Dumbledore nodded slightly, and then continued: "In addition to the sun, Muggles have also discovered that the movement of the moon can cause sea tides."

Hermione immediately raised her hand, "I know, it's caused by the change in gravity between the moon and the earth."

Dumbledore turned and looked at Andy.

Andy deadpanned, "I know what gravity is!"

Dumbledore nodded and said slowly: "But this is the rule of the stars in the eyes of Muggles. If you look at it from the perspective of wizards, the changes in the stars are very different."

Hermione listened carefully.

Andy also became serious.

“It’s hard for me to explain to you.”

Dumbledore said: "But the changes in the stars do affect the changes in magic. The most obvious thing is that when a werewolf wizard sees a full moon, he will turn into a werewolf."

"Horse people can also see the trajectory of the future from the stars."

To be honest, the latter sentence is a bit deceptive.

But if there's magic in the mix, maybe...

Andy is a little confused!

Dumbledore continued, "Mr. Collins, if your magic power is sufficient and active enough... at this time, you can calm down and experience it at night. You will find that the changes in the stars have been affecting your magic power."

Hermione had an idea when she heard this. "Professor, I heard that different weather will have different effects on people's moods... Is this the same principle?"

Andy was also thoughtful, "Magic comes from life... Changes in the stars and celestial phenomena may affect our lives. When life changes, magic will naturally change as well."

Having said that, Andy didn't have enough confidence to prove it.

Magic is indeed a magical energy.

Chapter 343: Magical Techniques and Phoenix Power

“Very interesting statement!”

Dumbledore said: "However, life and magic have a mutually influential relationship, just as the soul and body also have a mutually influential and co-dependent relationship."

Andy nodded.

In a sense, the rules of astrology are more complicated and more elusive than those of celestial phenomena.

If you want to find their patterns, perhaps you can only rely on your talent.

Just like Muggles, no matter how knowledgeable they are, if they want to observe sound waves and electromagnetic waves, they can only rely on the assistance of special equipment - because humans themselves do not have this ability.

Thinking of this, Andy suddenly asked: "Professor, then the reason why Hogwarts set up astronomy classes is...?"

At this point, Andy does not deny the importance of astrology, but the astronomy class at Hogwarts... To be honest, Andy doesn't think the little wizards can learn anything from this class.

Because Andy didn't learn anything either.

In daily life, the knowledge taught in astronomy class is not even as useful as that taught in flight class - but flight class is only taught for one year, while astronomy class is studied for a full five years and becomes an elective course in sixth and seventh grades.

The content of astronomy class is to observe the orbits of constellations, stars and planets, learn their names and positions, and understand the geological environment on planets and satellites.

These seem to sound very lofty.

However, there is no aerospace engineering in the wizarding world, and no wizard wants to fly out of the earth to explore space.

Therefore, the knowledge learned in astronomy class is of no use at all.

“Astronomy classes have been around for many years.”
